Hi,
I only recently picked up using lilypond again and found that writing a
guitar score with several staffs and a tabstaff is not that easy.
Figuring out how to accomplish everything takes a lot of time ;-)
I installed fluidsynh and QSynth but never heard of the fluidsynth
soundfiles?
It might be that everything is already installed but since I didn't find
much information on fluidsynth/QSynth I'll first figure out how to add
midi to lilypond scores. (Which lilypond manual provides the most
deatiled instructions?)
Regards
Ben

Ben,
Can you install fluidsynth/QSynth and the fluidsynth soundfiles (GM)?
I've done that on every distro I've used for a long time. I configure
QSynth to show its running process as 'QSynth' and in FB's midi settings
I choose that. Also, QSynth has to be configured for the correct sound
system (ALSA, etc.) and restarted (usually the first time its run). You
can confirm that fluidsynth works as a standalone program from a
terminal (its docs explain how to do that, though I can prolly find an
email I once sent to a friend explaining all this that I can copy/paste
the exact commands). If FS works from the terminal, then QSynth should
(!) be able to set it up as a daemon that FB can use.
